The majority of displaced ash was collected in a ditch and haul road that surrounds the landfill and is on plant property, the company said.
“Coal ash is non-hazardous, and the company does not believe this incident poses a risk to public health or the environment,” the release said. The company is conducting environmental sampling as well.
